2008 INFINITI G35 User Reviews

Pure Power — drove this one as a rental. smooth driving, almost too much power. not much legroom though. pulls you back in your seat when pushing accellerator. too much power for the car though. not sure if i want one. wife would be speeding all the time.. its a dream not come true...

G35s 6mt First Impressions — Performance - so far the performance seems great. Still in the break-in period, so can't wait to break her loose. Build - solid body, no problems so far Appearance - clean lines, ergonomics Cost - Great performance/cost ratio Fun - With the 6MT, great fun to throw around, what more do you want? So far so good, hopefully will get even more fun to drive after the first 1000 miles.

G35x Wins Out Over C300 —

Rating: I did not give it 5 stars or the highest rating in all categories because there is not perfect car. There is always room for improvement. After visiting every dealership in North Jersey this round came down to an Infiniti G35x and Mercedes C300 Sport 4Matic. I really liked the C300 but there were a few things that turned me off. First was the attitude of Mercedes (Prestige Rt17 Paramus) . I purposely went shopping in a pare of shorts t-shirt and a hat. It is very interesting to see the different responses dealerships and the people the work in them give. The attitude of Mercedes is, we are the best, you should bow down and kiss our feet to drive our cars. We will sell you whatever is on our lot and not go out of our way to accommodate you. Maybe this is the reason people continue to go to other manufacturers. Beside a good friend that used to work there told me not to buy one due to the mechanical problems. I would still like to, and will own one some day. The G35x seemed to offer more standard features and hoarsepower over the C300 and a lot less attitude. Made the final deal over the phone at Ramsey Infiniti and picked it up the next day. So far so good. Have had it about a month. It costs a lot less than the Tahoe gas guzzler I turned in. I only have to fill it up once a week at a cost of around 60-70 bucks. Still down 40-50 over the tahoe. At first I hated it. I thought it was stiff and felt everything. Now that is has broken in a bit, I enjoy the way it sticks to the road and corners on rails. The inside is like a plane cockpit. Everything is right at your finger-tips. I have spent the last month loading a few CD's at a time into the built in MusicBox. At first it was a little confusing, but after playing I have figured it out. I still have my 60gig ipod hooked up and connectivity with my iPhone is a breeze. Some improvements would be the ability to load music directly off the compact flash card. Overall I am very happy. I will provide an update in the future. Remember: In ones lifetime you get around 18 opportunities to try different vehicles. Enjoy the experience and get the one that you want, and well can afford.

Bomb Diggity Dankness — car is amazing, just need to lower it and throw some rims on her and shell be perfect

Kickass Ride — I drove this on two occasions while getting my car serviced at the dealership. There's a reason this car wins comparisons, it's really good. Engine revs fast and feels really urgent, really pushes you back. handling is top notch (yes I do push it until it runs outta tire grip). I can't feel the VDC grabbing the brakes at all - I only know it's working when I turn it off and the tail comes out. Sound system is the best ever. Only thing I would complain about is how the throttle is hard to control, you press a little bit and nothing happens, Once you get to its threshold, it explodes. Another complait I have is how small the rear window is, I'm always in fear of running over pedestrians while backing up.
